Pros
I picked up the 2009 Teocali Comp (blue/white) for $999.99 @ Performance Bicycle. For the price, you cant get a better bike. Shifters & dérailleurs are smooth, and quick. Bulletproof hydraulic disc brakes, and near perfect gear ratios.
Cons
After your first ride, it never cleans up like new..
Review
Good all-around bike for the price. Capable of riding advanced trails & descents, but also makes for a good beginner bike. Would recommend for any beginner, or seasoned expert. An enjoyable bike for every rider
Pros
Climbs much better than I thought it would. I can get up rocky hills better with this than with my hardtail. Rear suspension is great with very little bob. Sram shifters & rear derailleur work great, even though they are not top of the line. Hydraulic brakes are great.
Cons
Heavy. Manitou Splice fork is just ok. I wish it had a water bottle cage within the frame. My water bottle gets all dirty because it is under the frame.
Review
This is a very good trail bike. It will go over rocks and tree roots very nicely. It climbs well and really goes down rough hills with confidence.
